There's a beach in Spain where the sand looks just like popcorn, and it's taking over Instagram feeds everywhere

There's a beach locating on the Canary Islands that has white 'popcorn' sand.

The beach is covered in what looks like the movie snack, but it's really just miniature white corals that got washed up on shore.

The corals get their irregular shape from the sea and friction.

Could someone pass the butter, please? Social media has gone abuzz at recent photos showing a gorgeous beach that is decked out in sand that looks like popcorn.

Aptly called 'Popcorn Bay' or 'Popcorn Beach', the stretch—which is located in the town of Corralejo in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands —is graced by movie snack-like morsels, which are really miniature white corals that got washed to the shore.

The corals, which get their irregular shapes from the sea and friction, are then dusted with volcanic ash and sand when they reach shore, making them look like popcorn that has been speckled with black pepper.

The phenomenon isn't new, but has recently gotten the attention of social media users after Instagrammers began posting pictures of the area.
